What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Ordered a full set of RCI skids. Josh's customer service is everything I've heard others rave about. Very excited to replace the old and busted.
 
Pics of the pinstriping or it doesn't exist!
I could probably do some rock climbing on this stuff.

Not really. Some of it is deep enough that my fingernails ride/catch in the grooves. Most could probably buff out.
There's also a dent in the back from when I forgot to add a counter tension strap on the carrier and a klr250 got loose during a left turn.
And some awful branch pokings on the rear. Someone must have borrowed my car and backed up too far turning around on a trail.

OK fine, I'll see if I can capture them on camera..
 
I've got some serious AZ pinstriping I need to find a way to repair. Take it to a shop? DIY?
Totally new to it. Once it's fixed though, I want a nice skin of clear plasti dip.
I have a post of mine some where. I did the overland trip in Oregon and made a wrong turn. Needless to say it looked like I took a metal rake and just let my kid rake the side of the 4runner.

I spent about 5 hours waxing buffing and got all but the few deeper ones. I will have to take it in because I can't physically do the work, or I would. Little bit of sand paper, or buffing machine would get them out for sure and mine are like yours, get my finger nail stopped in it.

But I would do the run again even if I got more pin stripping
 
wheeled it;

scraped it;

bumped it;

bounced it;

exersized it;

banged it;

turned on the front and rear window washers afterwards - - - -:brushteeth:
 
Tbh, the wife is the bread winner. I'm a stay at home dad. She doesn't ask much of me, but keeping a 35k toy clean and in good shape is something helps keep her happy.

That's why I ordered the full set of skid plates - safety first! :monkey

I actually talked to him today to place an order and had a great experience. Got a tracking number and shipped same day. Will be calling him in the near future for future skid plate needs.

What? Doh my order must not be in stock then. But I went ahead and added the filler plate at the front.
I'm kinda a little excited.

Mine was in stock but I was not expecting to see it ship so quick. Always like dealing with a company that gets orders shipped quick.
 
Got rid of the Gobi rack, smittybilt awning and Shrockworks skids. Definitely excited for the new rack and awning that's on its way. :)
 
Spent 8/8 through 8/19 on the road from WI to CO and UT then through ID, WY, and SD, then back... Here is the Motion x summary of the off road portion.

Got it out of the body shop to repair the Damage from a minor rear end collision and went straight to the tire store and got 275/70/17 BFG KO2s installed. Plan on spraying the roof rails black today and getting the Bilsteins and SAW springs installed soon.
 
Got some Hankook Dynapro MT's on my Stealth Custom Series wheels. uploadfromtaptalk1440164697331.jpg

Finally got some appropriate tires on my 4runner! I've been agonizing about tire size, fitment, rubbing, new rims... Arrrgh! I finally settled on the latest offering from BFGoodrich. These are the KO2's in 34/10.5R17 on stock SR5 rims with a Toytec Ultimate lift. ZERO RUBBING. I couldn't believe it myself, but here it is...






I'm beyond stoked at this point. Can't wait to get them on some dirt tomorrow.

Those are some fancy shoes you have there. No rub leaves me wondering - my stock size cooper's are rubbing. I might have a piece of plastic wandering out of its assigned area.

Anyone interested in some Trail Edition stock skid plates, panhard bar, rocker panels, roof rack bars or rear springs?
